Description
Dukes Bath Cottage, located in Beaulieu at Buckler's Hard, is a Grade II listed building dating from 1760. It was originally built for Lord Brudenell, the son of the 3rd Duke of Montagu, and has since been converted into a yacht clubhouse. The cottage features a roughcast and weatherboarded brick exterior with a thatched roof, which is partly supported by a rustic tree trunk verandah. There is a brick stack and a 20th-century addition.
This single-storey building has two bays, with a 19th-century lower-roofed addition at the rear on one side and a 20th-century flat-roofed addition on the other. The front elevation showcases a verandah supported by four rustic tree trunk posts, with similar braces connecting to the wallplate. In the center, there is a pointed door with four panels and a pointed top panel featuring Y-shaped divisions, although this door is now false. Flanking the door are pointed windows with two lights below a transom and Y-tracery above, all fitted with leaded lights and shutters. The roof is hipped with a central ridge stack. The exact original use of the cottage is uncertain.
